That stuff is literally like 30 to 1 and sometimes 40 to 1. You can get 5" per hour but it compacts very quickly. The jan 2015 storm was like that but not as extreme. It was like 20 to 1 stuff for a good chunk of that deformation band over ORH. I was right in it and it reminded me of lake effect. Perfect dendrites and cold temp and despite it being a blizzard, the winds were not that strong during the meat of that band. Not strong enough to shatter the dendrites anyway so the ratios were maintained pretty well. I had 34.5" but prob never reached a depth over 28-29" and that included like 4" OTG before the storm started. so then you really only had a peak depth of 24-25 inches from that storm and 28-29 peak depth combined?

OceanStWx Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Holy crap. Another meso-vortex formed on Superior this afternoon and ended up moving onshore near MQT. In addition to actual anvil topped convection in it, there was a 52 knot gust at MQT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. Total fluff. It's possible I got as high as 30-31 at the peak. I wasn't keeping tabs on the depth as closely as the storm total itself. Gotta remember too that the 2015 blizzard was basically a 30 hour storm. It wasn't 15-18 hours like feb 2013 or jan 2011. You'll get extra compaction too on the shoulders of a 30 hour storm. 2015 might have broken the record for a single storm but the impact was definitely less than a storm like December 1992 or April 1997.

Ginx snewx Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 So my wife wanted a CCTV system to watch our dogs and our fostered rescues while we are at work, so I got her one for Christmas hoping to convince her we needed a web cam outside. So I bought one internal CCTV cam, she loves it and now my 2 other interior cams are on the way and an outside cam. Life lesson for the newly or about to be married.Give her what she wants but always have a plan lol just kidding. Anyway video and web is very cool. Vimtag 89 bucks each camera, if you want cloud you can buy it. Ptz, motion detection, 2 way audio. So far so good.

Substance and Industry vs. Inferiority are good singles, a DDH (Reciprocal), a rye PA (Lux), and Baby Genius if you want a session. They're starting to branch out into other styles now too. I tend to not fight the crowds for cases and just do the tasters instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIPPYVALLEY Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 OT but had to share this one: My mom, age 83, has been going through radiation TX for breast cancer at Mass General. (Good prognosis) So, I was talking to her on the phone tonight and she starts telling me about this nice man she was chatting with in the waiting room yesterday. She told me he seemed a little down so she shared some positive words of advice about never giving up and how it's our mission to stick around as long as possible. She said they had a nice chat and good laughs once he cheered up. She told me his name was Jerry and that he used to play for the Red Sox but is now one of their TV announcers. The story is so good because she had no idea who he was nor did she care, she just wanted to cheer him up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted December 31, 2017 Author Share Posted December 31, 2017 10 hours ago, dryslot said: Yeah, And here too, Can see it on my trucks tonneau cover. I feel like every 12 hours we've had a dusting of snow on the cars but it never adds up to more than a few tenths at best. Like a skim film of snow. I imagine this is what its like in Siberia most of the winter. Cold, hazy visibility, and a persistent film coating of snow on everything. Even the small twigs have some of that super-small crystal snow on them, looks like rime but it's not. Right now its snowing out enough to measure a tenth or two and need to do a quick brush of the car, but the moon is clearly visible above the haze.

Not often we get these conditions to promote diamond dust here, I have experienced it in northern maine though on a few occasions, But we don't typically see these arctic temps below zero consecutive nights down this way either........lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comparing the liquid equivalent is a good way to do it. Regardless... it snowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like the moon is always visible but like tonight, its probably light snow as the flakes are just so incredibly tiny. It's only -2F out so doubt its diamond dust. I generally think of that as early morning stuff...like 12z time frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
